I've had hip and joint pain for awhile now?

I'm beginning to suspect that it might be Pradaxa related. Especially since yesterday I missed taking one and I woke up with much less pain that I've had for a long, long time. My dosage is two pills a day, but I'm wondering if I skipped one pill 3 or 4 days a week or just went down to one a day if I could get rid of this hip/joint pain. Honestly, I'm walking around like a 90 year old and I'm sick of it (I'm 60).
